When I made my last bed quilt (Irish Double Chain) I did so with the expectation of using the fabric and pattern for a baby/crib quilt for our niece who has announced she is expecting her first child. Here is a picture of the finished quilt. It measures 38/58 inches and the only difference with the bed quilt is the lack of the border blocks. I had to do it this way because of the demands of the pattern and size restrictions of a baby quilt. It is my first small quilt. She should be able to get a lot of use from it as the edge binding is machine stitched as suggested by members of this forum to enhance durability. I had a lot of fun and will enjoy seeing her face when her (Uncle) gives it to her. Thanks for all the suggestions that led to it's construction. Here is the link to the photo. It is the one labeled Baby Quilt.
